1. Real life: Ms. Zhang Ye, who is nearly half a hundred years old, and Mr. Lu Jihong, who is 63 years old, snuggle up to each other, trust each other, and jointly establish a deep friendship, which is unique and irreplaceable!
On a sunny afternoon, Zhang Ye held a cup of fragrant flower tea in his hand, gently closed his eyes, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility. Although she has entered the fifty-fifth year of her life, the years have not left too many traces on her face, but have made her appear more calm and energetic.
"Oops, you're asleep?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Zhang Ye slowly opened his eyes and saw that familiar face, Mr. Lu Jihong, who was standing there with a smile on his face, holding a small plate of delicate snacks in his hand. "Come and try my latest dim sum, it's your favorite.
Mr. Lu Jihong is eight years older than Ms. Zhang Ye, and they have formed a deep friendship since they performed a classic folk song together many years ago. They walked on stage together and became each other's closest partners in life.
"It's so thoughtful." Ms. Zhang Ye praised with a smile, took a bite of the delicious and delicious snack, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. Time flies, and Mr. Lu Jihong still knows her preferences.
At this moment, a wonderful performance from their youth is being shown on the TV screen. Although it is just an ordinary variety show, the tacit cooperation between Ms. Zhang Ye and Mr. Lu Jihong on the stage is impressive: he stares at her affectionately, and she responds with gentle eyes; His sudden antics caused her to laugh, and she gave him a coquettish look...... Every subtlety reveals a special emotional bond between them.
"Look at how close we were back then." Mr. Lu Jihong said with emotion.
Ms. Zhang Ye just smiled and looked at the TV screen quietly, as if she was reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future.
She and Mr. Lu Jihong have long gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friends, they are more like a loving couple who "spend their old age together", and they know how to cherish this rare friendship.
2. Looking back on the past: Ms. Zhang Ye was born in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere, and showed extraordinary talent since she was a child, and under the careful guidance of her teachers, her singing career went smoothly and eventually became a bright star in the Chinese music scene.
When it comes to Ms. Zhang Ye's past, Mr. Lu Jihong is like a treasure. He said proudly: "She has been a musical prodigy since she was a child, so it is no wonder that she has been able to stand tall in the folk song world and become an eternal star in our hearts."
Ms. Zhang Ye was born into an artistic family, her mother was an outstanding flower drum opera actress, and her father was a talented screenwriter. Under the influence of such a strong family environment, she has shown remarkable musical talent since she was a child.
The mother was keenly aware of her daughter's unique charm and devoted herself to discovering and nurturing her excellent singing skills.
During the school years, there was always a child in the classroom who was engrossed in the world of music lessons, and that was Zhang Ye. Whether it is the teacher's explanation or the practice in the classroom, she is always the most active one.
After the class, she worked tirelessly and had a strong desire to master every skill.
The family witnessed all this and quickly recognized how otherworldly their daughter was. Her mother didn't want her to embark on this arduous artistic path, but she couldn't resist the determination of the genius.
When Zhang was also facing the high school entrance examination, she quietly signed up for a local art college without telling her parents.
By the time my parents learned the truth, everything would have fallen into place.
Although the decision came as a shock to the parents, after careful consideration, they still chose to support their daughter's choice. In this way, Zhang successfully entered the temple of art and began his journey of chasing his dream of music.
In the days of the academy, Zhang is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. Her beautiful singing voice has deeply touched many veteran artists, and she was even fortunate to be personally guided by music masters Mr. Jin Tielin and Ms. Li Guyi.
With an affectionate letter to her family, Mr. Jin strongly recommended her to apply for the Central Conservatory of Music and escort her.
With the careful cultivation of famous teachers and his own unremitting efforts, Zhang Ye's musical talent has been fully explored. She swam in the ocean of music like a fish in water, singing all the way, and finally became the superstar of today's music industry.
3. Lingering emotional wounds: Zhang Ye's short-lived relationship with Zhang Xing was destined to end without a hitch, and after her father died, she once had doubts about her relationship.
Talking about Zhang Ye's emotional journey, Mr. Lu Jihong couldn't help but show a little melancholy. He knows that Zhang Ye's deep fear of feelings comes from that unforgettable experience many years ago.
It was sometime in 1990 when Zhang Ye met Zhang Xing, a singer who was hot at the time, at a singing event. At first, they just get along like ordinary friends, but before they know it, the bond of affection gradually deepens.
They discuss music and life passionately, as if they were destined to be an indispensable part of each other's lives.
Gradually, the former friendship became more like a deep affection, and the two hearts began to become tightly entangled, and finally they decided to become a couple and began to plan their marriage together.
However, the good times did not last long, and an unexpected "incident" suddenly appeared, which made Zhang Ye's parents wary of Zhang Xing and resolutely opposed their daughter marrying him.
Faced with his parents' firm stance, Zhang also fell into a dilemma. She didn't want to hurt Zhang Xing, so she chose to hide her family's objections. However, how could Zhang Xing, who believes in the power of love, not perceive this sense of distance? As a result, their relationship was tied with an unbreakable knot, and under the haze of misunderstanding, their relationship fell into crisis.
At this critical moment, an even greater misfortune befell Zhang Ye - her dear father died of cancer. She was originally positive and optimistic, but under the heavy blow of losing her loved ones, her whole person seemed to fall into endless darkness.
She began to reflect that maybe this relationship is a reincarnation of fate, and fate wants to take away family affection and love together.
Since then, Zhang has completely lost confidence in his relationship and devoted himself to his work, and soon parted ways with Zhang Xing. Although they were once "idol couples" in people's minds, they could only leave a regrettable memory in each other's lives after all.
Fourth, music rekindles hope: Just when Zhang was physically and mentally exhausted and desperate for her feelings, Lu Jihong entered her life. They have a tacit understanding on stage and become the best partners.
When Zhang Ye was extremely disappointed in her feelings, a wave of musical warmth injected her life again. In 2001, Lu Jihong entered her sight with a song "We the People" that he collaborated with her.
"At first, I didn't expect that I would be working with her for so long." Lu Jihong said frankly, "But soon we found that our tacit understanding on the stage is extremely high, and the sound is also very harmonious."
Indeed, from the initial small test to the later performance on the same stage, Lu Jihong and Zhang also worked closely together as if they had been spelled. Behind each moving melody, there is an emotional resonance that they interpret with heart.
What the audience saw was not only the perfect combination on stage, but also the dance of two musical souls. Behind the scenes, Lu Jihong always took good care of Zhang Ye, and even learned to cook, which won Zhang Ye's heartfelt praise.
On this stage, he constantly shows laughing tricks to please her, and she embodies resentment and pleasure in the depths of her heart through her affectionate eyes.
This is the unique chemistry that these two dancers showcase, honed over the years, born from the purest friendship, destined to shine on the stage. Whether it is "Happiness", "I Want to Kiss" or "Looking at the Mountains and Rivers and Looking at China" and other popular masterpieces, every creation and interpretation is the crystallization of the perfect combination of their soul and body.
Lu Jihong's heart-warming personality made Zhang, who had suffered psychological trauma, regain his confidence in life. He brought her endless warmth and became an indispensable source of strength in her life.
In this way, they have survived the most difficult moments of their lives together, and together they have created countless eye-catching stage performances.
Although in the past years, public opinion has speculated whether they have "come together", but they always deny it with a firm attitude, only admitting that the other party is their friend and confidant.
This unique and intimate relationship, without any nominal constraints, is precious enough.
Part 5: Confusing Emotional Entanglements: As time goes by, Lu Jihong also develops complex feelings for Zhang that go beyond friendship, but the two have never been able to solve this problem head-on.
From the initial accidental cooperation to the later dependence on life and death, Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong played an increasingly important role in each other's lives. They have been intimate for many good years, and at the same time, they also feel a complex emotion that goes beyond friendship gradually sprouting in their hearts.
At first, as artists, they were well aware of the "troublesome" nature of feelings, so they chose to put their careers first. It is precisely because of this dedication that they have shaped their intimate relationship without barriers.
Whether it's the challenges they face at work or the talk they have to talk about in their daily lives, they have long since opened up to each other without reservations.
Sometimes, in order to satisfy Zhang Ye's taste needs, Lu Jihong even deliberately learned cooking skills, which won her heartfelt praise. At work, Zhang can always interpret the meaning of certain small actions from the details of his eyes, and then respond with the resentment in his eyes and the joy in his heart.
This is the unique chemistry between them, which stems from years of running-in and friendship in its purest form.
In this way, a subtle and complex emotion like an "intimate lover" that is deeply rooted in the bone marrow gradually grows in the hearts of the two parties. When the people around him jokingly talked about the wedding dresses of the two were already in transit, Lu Jihong just chuckled and was silent.
In the face of media interviews, he responded in a firm tone, saying that marriage really needs a God-given fate, and there seems to be only the last gap that is difficult to cross between them.
As for Zhang Ye, she always avoids sensitive topics in her answers, repeatedly emphasizing that she lives an equally wonderful life alone.
In fact, Lu Jihong may understand Zhang Ye's inner world better than anyone else. The unforgettable emotional trauma of many years ago made her deeply afraid of marriage.
However, what about Lu Jihong? Perhaps out of an instinct to protect the other party, he never really faced the relationship, but chose to keep everything in this ambiguous state to avoid possible harm.
Therefore, although the man and woman, who are known as "confidants", have been moving forward steadily, neither of them has the courage to break this deadlock. They have gone all the way and experienced countless reunions and separations, but they have never been able to muster up the courage to untie the knot hidden deep in their hearts.
Although they are tight-lipped about the outside world, they know very well deep down that this special relationship has long gone beyond the realm of ordinary friends.
